Old tombstones provide valuable information about history. Genealogists often photograph tombstones as part of their research. Tombstones record the birth and death information of members of a family's past generations. Historians often photograph old tombstones for the information they hold about a town's early settlers. Finally, some people photograph old tombstones for aesthetic reasons. Unlike modern tombstones, old gravestones often contain hand-carved patterns. Angels and lambs adorn many old tombstones.
Instructions
- 1
Remove any trash near the tombstone.
2Trim grass and weeds obscuring the stone with scissors or shears. Do not use gas weed trimmers because the string can damage the stone.
3Clean the tombstone with water and a soft plastic or nylon brush or your hand. Do not use abrasive cleaners or a wire brush because they can damage the stone.
4Position the camera parallel to the surface of the tombstone. If the plane of the camera is not parallel to the plane of the tombstone, the shape of the tombstone will be distorted and the lettering will be difficult to read.
5Wait for bright sunlight to hit the tombstone's face.
6Reflect light to parts of the tombstone face that are in shadow. Hold the reflector so the sunlight hits it and bounces the light back to the stone. Move the reflector slightly until the sunlight is bounced to the correct spot.
7Set the camera on "P," or program, mode to have the camera determine a proper exposure. If you want to control the camera's depth of field, use "A," for aperture priority mode. A small aperture allows for a larger depth of field and will ensure all of the inscriptions are readable if you're not able to put the camera on a plane that is perfectly parallel to the tombstone.
8Take the picture.
9Check the camera's LCD screen to make sure you are able to read the tombstone inscription. Many cameras have a feature so you can zoom in on portions of the image to make it easier to see if the inscription is in focus.
